Anyone having problems viewing / posting to the site anyone?

In the last week our datacenter techs / admins placed a firewall on all the servers to prevent hacking attempts, brute force attacks, and numerous other bad things that might compromise the network, the site, and your personal information. While this is a good thing for precautionary measures
it seems that without optimal configuration settings some user / visitors are tripping the firewall and in turn its blocking IP addresses.

If you are having issues please contact me so we can configure this script to its optimal settings so it doesn't block anyone it shouldn't without reason.

Kevin

Every once in a while I can't get on the board at all, it will say forbidden access! Then I can check a little later and log in fine. This started about a week ago I guess.

I think I got it settled... So hopefully I got the issue handled but will wait and see if any more issues arise.
